Funny/Not funny: Monday Night Round-up

On How I Met Your Mother, Robin is uncomfortable with the things Ted still has from past relationships, like a couch pillow and a cute lamp. He sucks it up and gets rid of all the old mementos, only out that all her dogs are gifts from old boyfriends. Fun banter ensues and hilarity comes in the form of zany single guy Barney, who stages a retaliatory one-man play that consists largely of repeating Lily’s least-favorite word, “moist,” and spraying her in the face with a water gun.

On Rules of Engagement, that brunette chick is uncomfortable with the bed Oliver Hudson has from his past relationship. He sucks it up and agrees to return to her smaller bed, only to be reminded of all the men who’ve been there before him. Fun banter does not ensue and hilarity is not breached by David Spade, who at least doesn’t look as bored as that dude from Seinfeld and Less Than Perfect.

It's weird that these shows are in the same programming block, because they're in completely different leagues.
